7th Annual Auto Club Employees Car Show July 20, 2013
Costa Mesa, CaliforniaSaturday, July 20, 2013
On July 20, 2013 at their regional headquarters, The Auto Club of Southern California had their 7th annual Employees Car Show. Among other things, the show is very considerate; it doesn’t start till 10:00am. The day started overcast and misting. The temperature was in the mid-70’s and remained cloudy all day. Each of the 260+ cars had 2 generous parking spaces in the parking lot, plenty of room for your gear. The grounds were very nice with employee's cars parked in unique places.
The Adrenaline Alley had nostalgia nitro dragsters, nitro altereds, NASCAR cars, a couple of vintage John Force funny cars, and a 6 axled tow truck holding a car 40 feet in the air! A small group of motorcycles, mostly Harleys, were on-hand. The great Mark Wood band played all day for the show goers. An amazing BBQ lunch was provided free to the participants. Special guests included, Tom “Mongoose” McEwen (legendary nitro dragster driver), Megan Jo McKernan (Top Alcohol dragster driver), and Helio Castroneves (3 time winner of the Indy 500).
The Auto Club knows how to throw a car show! Thanks for the Show!
